Machine-In-The-Middle

Overview

All versions of lix are vulnerable to Machine-In-The-Middle. The package accepts downloads with http and follows location header redirects for package downloads. This allows for an attacker in a privileged network position to intercept a lix package installation and redirect the download to a malicious source.

Recommendation

No fix is currently available. Consider using an alternative package until a fix is made available.
